Online Labs for PED 101

Individual Physical Activity (*required online survey for
approval)NOTE: Due to the unique nature of the online, physical activity-based, lab sections,
and high number of requests, you must take a survey to determine if you meet the
criteria for success in this fully online delivery format.

Students in this unique, self-directed ONLINE LAB section are required to
participate in cardiovascular, resistance, and flexibility activities on their
own (in any setting), while maintaining daily/weekly activity logs and diaries.
Students are required to meet
the minimum national physical activity and health guidelines, which includes a
specific number of days/week (frequency) and minutes/day (duration) for each type
of activity (see below for those requirements). Students can, however, choose
the specific type (and maximum amount) of physical activity to perform for each
(depending upon personal health/fitness levels, goals, and activities of
enjoyment):

Additional Online Lab - Information to ConsiderONLINE PED 101 LABS are designed for the following “type” of student, so
before you even consider this as an option, HONESTLY ask yourself if MOST of the
following characteristics describe you:

Live at a distance from campus

Junior or Senior Status (Sophomores will be considered AFTER juniors &
seniors due to the number of semesters left until graduation)

Already possess basic knowledge and skills regarding cardiovascular,
resistance, and flexibility activities that meet your needs and can be combined
to develop a safe, balanced, and enjoyable physical activity program (you will
learn more in this course, but you do need to know the basics to start
Individual Physical Activity Participation around week 2 or 3 of the online
course)

Prefer individual physical activity for a justifiable reason; and have no
problem participating, recording, and reflecting on activity sessions without a
specified meeting time

Enjoy using technology and participating in online discussions to engage in
course material

Self-directed, self-motivated, and self-disciplined student/learner

Currently practice effective time-management skills

If you do not possess the MAJORITY of these characteristics, then
please DO NOT consider taking the ONLINE LAB.Instead, you are encouraged to register for a FACE-TO-FACE LEC/LAB, OR an
ONLINE LEC/FACE-TO-FACE LAB, as you are more likely to have a successful and
enjoyable experience because of having a specific meeting time and location, the
interaction with classmates, and the guidance from a lab instructor for your
physical activity participation and assignments.
